Review of Adidas P7No glueing difficulties at all. Water based glue, one layer on the rubber and one on the blade, wait till glue is transparent, for about half an hour, of course, time factor depends on the enviornment. Playing properties are great, as described above. Crazy spin. If you experience stronger spin, feel free to let me know :-)Update after six months: Prefer in 2mm. It is unbeatable on BH side ;) May 14, 2015 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Adidas Tenzone Ultra

Review of Adidas Tenzone UltraAnother superb rubber from Adidas.Tried the rubber in 2.0 on the FH of my XH Zxi blade water base glued and I cannot be happier with it. Moderate but more than enough speed and unbelievable grip. I'd say it is at the same level of speed and grip as Xiom OVT. The medium hard rubber is NOT bouncy at all so you can keep your pushes short and low just above the net. During serving and looping it is spinner than most of the latest top rubbers. I dare to say it is quite close to T05. It is not as bouncy as the T05 so you can cause troubles for your opponents by handling their serves and attacks and it is less sensitive to incoming spins. Pushing is also rated as excellent with TZU as it keeps balls low and full of spin. Looping department is full of enjoyment especially close to the table perhaps it loses its strength during far-from-table counter drives and hits. TZU draws a nice medium high arc in the air with a sudden dip-off on the other side in case of correct and quick wristle movement. Side-spins are simply leathal but it might be true for all the latest top gums as well. Lifting heavy backspins is a child's play with TZU. Of course I hit the net several times against more qualified players but it happens much less than earlier :D It is precision that I really appreciate most about TZU I have never felt being more accurate during my play. On the backhand I did not like TZU but it is only due to my poor skill and technique. For me M3 and P7 are the all time favourites on BH. Update: Two months have passed and I am absolutely satisfied with TZU on FH. Precision, power, spin and control of heaven. Changed thickness to 1.8 though because it is fast enough for an old warrior :-) In the end I've dropped M3 on BH as it is too bouncy for me and P7 has been proved to be unbeatable there. At last I can stop breaking my brain about equipment and get ready for learning some tactics ;-) May 14, 2015 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Review of Andro Rasant PowerspongeBought it in 1 .9 mm for BH. Previously used M3.Nothing more can be added to reviews above. Everythig is confirmed written above. For me the main point was established by spinitgood: Lower throw angle than M3 which makes my BH play much more consistent on each field. Control above imagination. Thx Mr Andro ;-) Sep 12, 2014 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Review of Andro Rasant PowerGripWow. what rubber. Devastating speed and spin. No lazy style :-)Tested on Stiga allround wood wrb in 2.1mm thickness on FH. (recreational player) Pushes are also excellent but it was created for powerful topspins and sidespins. On the otherhand it lacks a bit touch at weaker impacts so one must play agressively to make it alive and brutal. Anyway, everything must be different or even better if it is possible on faster blades of course. May 14, 2015 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Andro Rasant Beat

Review of Andro Rasant BeatFrom retailer's website: SPEED:105 SPIN:115 CONTROL:94 HARDNESS:37.5From Andro website: Huge sound, big fun! The Beat Box among all soft rubbers! High potential for monsterspins! Impressive failure tolerance! More balls reach their destination! The ultra soft sponge leads to a longer ball contact time, in which the topsheet grips the ball to balance slight imprecisions. The new pimple system which is designed to fit to the sponge’s characteristics optimizes the playing feel and makes it easier to tap the rubber’s full potential! My review: It is glued on the BH side of my Stiga Allrond Wood NCT. I must confess it has proved to be a wise decision. Well, it has the greatest control I have ever experienced. Unbelievable. To be continued... Update 1: Incredible control. I am fond of it. It makes me topspin anything. It is quite similar to Blufire JP3 which is also a premium rubber but RB is a bit softer and slower. Great spin. Perfect rubber for your BH unless you need off+++ speed though on a speedy blade it may have it all. Anyway I returned to my standard Stiga Allroud Wood WRB which is a spin-machine and NCT is a bit stiff for me. Update 2: After two-month practise. It is a bit louder than other rubbers but nothing special sound can be heard. Am I deaf? I must underline that it can be true for my blade, Stiga Allround Wood WRB and Appelgren Allplay. Sound produced may also depend on the blade, I guess. To tell you the truth, I was expecting deafening rhythms but in vain. Anyway, it is a great BH rubber. Jun 07, 2015 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Review of Butterfly Sriver ELGreat rubber I have been using it for half a year and it is still a weapon :-) versatile to put it mildly.Easy blocks, flips and nice pushes. Threatening attacks close to the table but a bit weak beyond mid distance. Cool rubber to start with at a reasonable price. Mar 15, 2012 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Review of Butterfly Tenergy 64 FXI can only compare it with T05 because I haven't tried the other Tenergies yet. Less spin and speed, more control and lower throw. Astonishing undercuts. Top product.I suggest that you should stick it on BH and stick to it :) Mar 10, 2012 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Butterfly Tenergy 80

Review of Butterfly Tenergy 80Tried it on a Stiga Allround Wood blade. As for me I am an amateur player. Sorry guys I hate this rubber. Non-linear behaviour. At harder hits the ball flies high away missing the table. Pour spin. I played with it only for an hour and it was a nightmare. The most terrible thing about it is the close-to-zero grip. The ball simply slips on the rubber. Is it only for pros? Yes, definitely. They might appreciate its hidden great values written high in the sky.May 10, 2015 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Donic Slice 40
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Donic Slice 40After few hours. Everything written above is confirmed. I put a sheet of 1.5 on my BH to experiment with. Nice chops and great control. Looping ability is sufficient, flat, well-placed strokes can disturb your opponent's ballance. With BF M2 on FH one can kill forced high returns.1st update. Close to horizontal orientation strokes are needed (compared to M3) you are just supposed to push your bat in the direction required. Huge control , as I suspected, perhaps due to the 1.5 thickness of the rubber , I presume. To my great astonishment it is quite easy to lift underspins. My opponents are called with their trousers down by difference in speed (Fh Bf M2 , Bh Slice40) and really heavy chops :D I cannot help annoying them. Jan 11, 2013 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Donic Bluefire JP 03

||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Donic Bluefire JP 03Lower throw than M3 and that's a good news for those who prefer that and find it hard to keep the ball on the table like me for example :-) As always and in any case I feel forced to soften it up it a bit with oil in order to make it awake from its original state and make it more dinamic. I use it in 1.8mm on BH of a Stiga Allround. FH M1 2.0mm. Nice combination.Oct 04, 2014 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Review of KTL (LKT) Pro XTNice rubber it is . Though a recreational player too am I let me tell you it is a great rubber for a ridiculously low price . Yesterday I had a couple of hours practise with it again on my spare Yasaka Sweden Classic blade with R802 short pips on it . It may be comparable to H3 Neo a bit softer less tackier but very grippy and controllable at the same time . Personally I like it very much . Easy under- and topspins, short serves and it seems to be durable but it will turn out later .Sep 11, 2012 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Tibhar Genius+ Optimum Sound

||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Tibhar Genius+ Optimum SoundWow. What catapult effect this rubber has! (On FH 1.8 mm thickness) I feel the rubbers sucks the ball then splits it like a cannon. The rubber is a bit too soft for my taste but I am experimenting with it for some time surely. Furthermore it is a looping machine I wanna attack and loop all the time. It is a lower-throw rubber compared with Bluefires which draw higher arcs so you should adjust your strokes a bit and open more the face of your rocket. I feel obliged to try Genius+Optimum because it must be harder for sure.Jun 14, 2014 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Review of Xiom Omega IV EliteYesterday I tried my new O4E out (black 2.0mm) on forehand . My first impressions are excellent . My forehand drives became more consistent immediately. The flying arc of the ball is marvellous . The Big Window Effect exists really !:-) May 14, 2015 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Xiom Omega V Tour
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Xiom Omega V TourFirst impressions: Well, I tend to use medium-soft rubbers but at the same time I could not resist to the temptation of Omega Tour V. Perhaps I got used to the medium-soft M3 too much so I found it a bit hard and slow for my taste. I am quite sure that advanced players with proper strength and speed will enjoy OT V. Control is great, pushes are smooth and low. Fair average spin but it is my shortcoming as I have just mentioned before. Counterhits and looops are nice but again I am not so fast and strong to be as effective as I am with my previous FH rubber. I am convinced that some time is needed to "break it in". On the spur of the moment I decided to use a " bucket of booster" in order to make it softer.Wait and see. To be continued... Oct 02, 2013 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Review of Yasaka Rakza 7Wow! This is the rubber I have been looking for my BH! It grabs the ball and returns it with a vicious spin wherever I want on the opponents side! And now I can generate very short, close-to-the-table, low-throw and threatening loops, backspins or undercuts. Congratulations Yasaka!Sep 14, 2011 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
